(fibers thatched in squares), ?sea bass,? ?sea breeze,? and ?seashell? designs (which are symmetrical styles of herringbone mesh).

When designed for indoor use such as dining or living area, seagrass carpets feature various types of borders stitched on for a great visual effect, using materials like leather, tapestry, wool, or a cotton rim. They also come with reinforced backing, or padding, to increase traction and longevity. The underside is commonly made of jute, glued on with a natural, chemical-free adhesive, or latex.
